Easily his worst film he made in Hollywood. I wonder if he just made this for a paycheck or to appeal to children but I'm pretty sure it's the former. After all he did say he needed money to make Armour of God 3 and he's even admitted toEasily his worst film he made in Hollywood. I wonder if he just made this for a paycheck or to appeal to children but I'm pretty sure it's the former. After all he did say he needed money to make Armour of God 3 and he's even admitted to hating most of his Hollywood movies. So go figure. No wonder this was so terrible. Miley Cyrus' dad was in this, what more needs to be said?… Expand

A cheap rip off version of The Pacificier( Vin Diesel) not worth the time. I believe this was a way to say goodbye to the career of a figure like Jackie Chan

Sucked!!! No better way to put it. It's so sad that they would even make this movie. I feel bad for anyone that was a apart of this movie. Should have never been made.

This is it. Jackie Chan ain't no star anymore. "The Spy Next Door" says it all.

The Spy Next Door is nothing more than a forgettable, poorly-written movie that wastes its talent. Jackie Chan might as well be Danny Glover in "Lethal Weapon", because he's "too old for this s**t".

What were they thinking putting Jackie Chan in a horrible movie,to be as a spy and protecting those annoying children like this? It's like raping the master of kung-fu for putting as a spy and making fun of him with lousing slapsticks. TheWhat were they thinking putting Jackie Chan in a horrible movie,to be as a spy and protecting those annoying children like this? It's like raping the master of kung-fu for putting as a spy and making fun of him with lousing slapsticks. The scenes are too cheap for the visual effects and a waste of the script,the characters are annoying,too many plot points,the jokes are not that funny,and very insulting for putting Jackie Chan in it. Come on people,it's Jackie Chan,the greatest martial arts master who fights and leaps on the poles,and making him downsize for his acting and hurting him so purpose. Even why George Lopez plays as a villain for taking over the world? He really needs to fire his agent! And why they put a teenager girl who finds this older boy so attractive and the older boy fights Jackie Chan? I don't why they make this movie so bad and please the fans will probably like it,but come one what bad movie for putting Jackie Chan on it and it's not entertaining family film for the kids!… Expand

The fact that the positive reviews here spend more time shaming the critics than saying what's good about the movie shows what a great fan-base this movie has. But why don't they spend that time praising the movie's good points? BECAUSE THEREThe fact that the positive reviews here spend more time shaming the critics than saying what's good about the movie shows what a great fan-base this movie has. But why don't they spend that time praising the movie's good points? BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ANY!!! So what's wrong with this movie? Well Billy Ray Cyrus is in it.......I could end the review just with that. There are way more problems than that though. Bland and obvious story, jokes that could be seen from miles away and appealing to it's key demographic so desperately it makes the Oogieloves look subtle. If you value your brain cells, make like a spy and stealthily, quickly get the hell away from this movie!… Expand

This movie is so basic, and it fails at the attempted jokes.
